A rare piece of Victorian fraternal jewellery, this gilt oval locket carries the IOGT monogram of the International Order of Good Templars within dense cannetille scrollwork, with a contrasting Celtic interlace and central star medallion to the reverse. The interior retains its cobalt blue lining alongside the original photograph compartment, making this a historically significant and increasingly sought-after piece.
